That orange spice bread sounds delicious and your snippets from the latest Victoria in the last post has made me anxious to see my copy arrive in the post. The anticipation of spring is a lovely feeling isn't it? At this stage the garden is always going to be wonderful and you are always 'going to keep up with things this year' :) These are really inspiring posts - thank you!

I’m sending Linky Love your way, because...are you quite ready for this? Maybe you should sit down...oh, you already are sitting? (Hmm...I usually do all my blogging standing on the highest branch of a tree in the middle of the Amazon somewhere over the rainbow. Not really, but that would be cool, wouldn’t it?) Well then, I have added your blog to my sidebar list of blogs, thereby increasing my list from five to something greater than five, and all because I think you’re really neat! Have a blessed day!

PS Banana bread is the closest thing to regular baking I do. I LOVE it!

Oh Kelli, These look delicious!!! My daughter and I will be trying these this weekend. We made the banana bread last week, and we will try the orange bread this afternoon. We are expecting a big storm and lots of snow, so we will cuddle up with a slice of this, in front of the fire, with a cup of tea!Thanks

There is never any left for breakfast over here! I am ashamed to say, I have not made any banana bread this winter. I need to change that. In my defense, have not had many bananas left! Have a wonderful day.Jenn

Hello Kelli, Thank you for the delicious banana bread recipe...wow! I think it's wishful thinking that there will be even a smidge left for breakfast :( My advice is to double up the recipe and hide the other loaf ;)

The orange bread looks yummy. I haven't stopped over in a couple days boy did I miss a lot. I loved your post about gardens and I loved your seed cabinet. And, your Sunday post. You've inspired me once again! Have a Blessed week. Oh... one more thing I was clicking on your post and caught a glimpse of the pirate. Before it completely loaded I thought he was a ninja called in to start working the garden and riding it ofwinter growth!

Those breads are lovely, I am especially eager to try the Orange Spice Loaf. Yum! It will be perfect as its cold with lots of snow and rain - can't quite make up its mind, but the city looks like a huge slush ball. Have a great day, Kelli!

We absolutely LOVE banana bread around our house and it doesn't last for too long ~ um, there really are no leftovers, to speak of (imagine a teenage boy taking about half the loaf as "his" piece LOL)!!!

There are new pictures on my blog if you get some time to come by for a visit :)

I love the name of your blog and your photographs look like they walked right out of the latest magazine. Really wonderful and I want some of the bread with a bit of butter and a nice cup of tea please.Pat

Your bread sounds wonderful ... I can't even think about spring with so much snow on the ground. I know this is the perfect time to plan and all the garden seeds have arrived but my flower beds...not thinking of them yet...jut too far away for me....I am so ready for spring!!! Dianntha

WOW!!! That bread looks sooo luscious~ I bet it tastes good. I have a confession to make...I ran with your idea about letterwriting on the Lounge and made a blog just for Letter Writers. I thought Tiany started it and she said, "No" it was Kelli, so I had two confessions to make today. I haven't decorated or done anything with it yet, but I have some good ideas of what I want to do. It's here if you're interested. homeschoolblogger.com/LettersInLonghand. I also wanted to say that I love Victoria magazine. I won a year subscription on Tiany's blog back during the Christmas Open House...It's a wonderful magazine.
